Synchronizing use of sophisticated wet-laboratory and in-field handheld technologies for real-time monitoring of key microalgae, bacteria and physicochemical parameters influencing efficacy of water quality in a freshwater aquaculture recirculation system: A case study from the Republic of Ireland.
(Elsevier, 2020-04-16)There has been growing interest in exploiting microalgae as a natural process for low cost wastewater treatment and for water quality control and remediation in aquaculture. This constitutes the first study to report on a ... -
Coming down the tracks: anticipated changes to the environmental impact assessment regime as a result of the Directive 2014/52/EU and the Aarhus Convention
(Lawtext Publishing, 2016-10)This paper outlines the main changes introduced by the amending Environmental Impact Assessment Directive 2014/52/EU, and considers what these changes will mean for operators on the ground in Ireland and England when the ... -
Electrospinning of hydrogels for biomedical applications
(Springer Nature, 2018)The field of biomedical applications for hydrogels requires the development of nanostructures with specific controlled diameter and mechanical properties. Nanofibers are ideally candidates for these advanced requirements, ... -
Structure response for cellulose-based hydrogels via characterization techniques.
(Springer, 2019)Hydrogels are three-dimensional crosslinked polymeric networks capable of imbibing substantial amounts of water or biological fluids and are widely used in biomedical applications, especially in pharmaceutical industry as ... -
Effect of anodizing time on the mechanical properties of porous titania coatings formed by micro-arc oxidation.
(Elsevier, 2017-01-15)Porous TiO2 coatings were produced on commercially pure Ti substrates by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in 1.0 M H2SO4 electrolyte for different anodizing times. Their mechanical properties were assessed by means of instrumented ... -
Residential child care workers: relationship based practice in a culture of fear.
(Wiley, 2018-11)In a contemporary context dominated by reports of the historical institutional abuse of children and young people in residential children's homes, and where the voice of workers is largely absent, this study explores the ... -
A federated learning system for optimised environmental control of consecutive areas.
(IADIS, 2019)Building management systems have led to artificially controlled environmental conditions. While new infrastructure will lead to a lower carbon footprint and a better working environment, the costs cannot justify the rewards ... -
